Tournaments are larger scale, elimination competitions, with players split into groups, each attempting to advance from their group through a bracket to the Championship.

Tournaments are usually run over a consecutive two, three or four week span, depending on the number of players involved. Tournaments are the toughest competitions to win given the larger field, and hence offer the most reward.

Our final tournament of the season is underway, starting Week 15 with Championship games scheduled for Week 16.

For the final tourney I decided to make it a little more special event than usual. The following email just went out to our tourney participants about the event, aptly titled the Best of the Best Throwdown Tournament:

Gentlemen,

For our final tournament of the season at Fantasy Throwdown starting this week, I realized, albeit a little slow, that we really should do something special for this last tourney. Plus, from looking at the participants who signed up early in the week, it was a who’s-who of players from the top of our Leaderboard.

Therefore, I decided to explicitly invite players I felt were worthy to compete amongst our top players who weren’t already signed up to fill the final spots. And from that, I give you the…

Best of the Best Throwdown Tournament!

The format is the same as most of our tournaments, since I still want to run it over 2-weeks, Week 15 and 16. Players are in groups of four. The top player from each group advances to the A-Championship next week. The second place finisher advances to the B-Championship.

I did however add a Flex spot to the lineups (was tempted for two, stuck with one). We might go QB-Flex for the Championship matches.

More importantly, players are assigned to their groups by Leaderboard ranking! Here are the groups:

Group A
#1 Wilforkisland
#8 Doclate
#9 Luxuriousdusti
#29 awilde27

Group B
#2 JeffNFL
#7 uswjnk85
#10 Ditka
#25 Bigchief37

Group C
#3 rhazes_darkk
#6 mikemar
#11 tttimmyg
#19 mkmayers

Group D
#4 thunder
#5 gtrain
#14 laoch
#18 kwinkelman07

As you can see we have every player ranked #1-11 from the Leaderboard. Even some of the lower rankings are deceiving, as awilde27 was #3 in the first half of the season, and Bigchief37 has numerous special event titles under his belt from last year.

In terms of prizes, we’re going to need something a little more special than the originally planned $10 for 1st, $5 for 2nd. Lets triple it to $30 and $15. (Sorry, no Millionaire Maker here.) I still have some t-shirts but they are XL or XXL, so those are available if the size fits. I will also give a free entry in our final special event of the season, the NFL Playoffs Challenge, to 1st place.

If anyone cannot participate for whatever reason please let me know right away so I can find a replacement. If there are any questions then fire away.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Mike

If I missed anyone who felt they should have been included, I apologize. There were only 16 spots available, and I know we have many worthy competitors. It was a subjective call for the final few spots, and everyone accepted, so there wasn’t a ton of opportunity to get in unless you were already ranked at the top of the Leaderboard for the second half. You can make up for my oversight in the forthcoming NFL Playoffs Challenge!

Best of luck to our players, and everyone thanks for playing and supporting the website this season!
